Sao Tome and Principe Affirms Solidarity with Morocco
On April 14, 2026, during a significant diplomatic meeting in Rabat, the government of Sao Tome and Principe reiterated its unwavering support for the territorial integrity of Morocco, particularly concerning the status of Western Sahara. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Sao Tome and Principe expressed strong endorsement for Morocco's autonomy plan, recognizing it as the only credible solution to the long-standing dispute over the region. This affirmation follows the endorsement of United Nations Resolution 2797, which further cements the international community's acknowledgment of Morocco's sovereignty over the Sahara. The discussions also highlighted the commitment of Sao Tome and Principe to enhance bilateral cooperation with Morocco through a roadmap aimed at fostering mutual development from 2025 to 2027.
The supportive stance of Sao Tome and Principe not only reflects its diplomatic ties with Morocco but also underscores a broader trend of African nations recognizing Morocco's claims over the Sahara. This alignment is crucial as it contributes to regional stability and promotes collaborative efforts toward economic and political partnerships across the continent. The reaffirmation of support from Sao Tome and Principe is a strategic move that aligns with its foreign policy objectives, aiming to strengthen alliances within the African Union and beyond.
